I am looking to get a few more fish. 125 gallon 6x16inx24in. Lots of rock on ends, open area in middle with some of the more aggressive LPS in that area. Plenty of flow, currently with T5 and 3 AI primes. Current residents, bicolor blenny, yellow clown, watchman, tailspot, 2 dartfish, rainford's, link's goby, some shrimp, crabs, and snails.

Getting later this week, orchid dottyback (thinking about getting 2), and a mexican Barnacle blenny.

Looking for something to hang in the middle and top. Family is pressing for oscellaris; I am concerned about them chasing the dartfish into hiding. I was thinking about letting the torch and frogspawn grow a bit more to give them a spot.

Also considering a wrasse, looking for ideas on smaller ones. Currently leaning towards flasher wrasses, not sure what type, was thinking 2-3. Could use some insight here. Any suggestions are useful but I prefer the smaller ones that are not known for aggression. Bright colors are a plus

Down the road I am considering a flame angel because I have always wanted one. Same concerns as with the oscellaris. I will also be getting a dragonet but I am not confident with my copepod culture yet so that is on hold. I will also likely be getting a pistol shrimp for the watchman as he is getting more reclusive and that green clown goby looks cool and cannot possibly take up that much tank.
 
In a 6' tank occelaris clowns shouldn't cause issues with the dartfish.

Only do 1 orchid dottyback, not 2.

Flasher wrasses are great and species can be mixed, but only do 1 specimen per species.
